Exploration of an ancient private tower house in the Upper Town, in the historic center of Bergamo

I have lived in the upper city, the historic center of the city of Bergamo, since I was born. I live in a 16th century tower house, built on the remains of a medieval tower , which has been in our family for many generations. I love my city and especially the historic center and its villages. Growing up there I discovered its uniqueness and the ancient stories that still remain alive and present, even if hidden within the walls of the buildings and in the side streets. Small magical corners of the ancient city that are too often overlooked by those who visit. Our tower house also preserves many of them, but only by entering with me is it possible to discover them. I am always happy to be able to share our story with anyone who is curious enough to know it. We will start from the entrance of the tower house on the ground floor and go up the stairs of the sundial tower, thus gradually discovering the evolution of the building over the centuries, but also of the city of Bergamo itself. We will enter the top two floors furnished with furniture and furnishings from the various eras that characterized the lives of those who lived there. You will thus arrive at the top of the tower but be careful... without a lift. You will feel like you are reliving the times that once were firsthand, surrounded by family objects and heirlooms, an experience that will make you love our beautiful city and its most secret peculiarities even more. Finally, from the windows on the top floor, you will enjoy the view that sweeps over the roofs, the Lower Town below and the profile of the Orobic Prealps. From December 8th until the Epiphany it will also be possible to see our large nativity scene which, every year as per family tradition, we prepare with ancient figurines from Veneto, Bergamo, Neapolitan and many others . The tour in the Tower House does not include a visit to the historic center. The Hospitality map of Città Alta is free to all participants. The tour DOES NOT include a visit to the historic center.
